(2012 Winter Coronation) The Coronation

Dec 28th, 2012 05:07 PM

Adam made a tentative entrance to the Winter Coronation. He'd ducked out of the last one as things had started to get serious, carefully avoided any "Tail between his legs" jokes ever since, and came to his senses a while later involving the whole shebang. It was silly to have left so soon.

This time he wouldn't be running from anything. He dusted down a dark blue shirt, straightened a badly knotted white tie and made a beeline towards the table of food. One thing came to mind that he hadn't had last time. Alcohol. Booze. Liquor. Drink. Brew. Refreshment. Potion.
Something to take his mind and stroke it till it purred.

He headed straight towards the first bottle or glass of anything he could find.
Which,
Apparantly,
Was in the hand of a red skinned man.
And Adam bumped right into him.

Damn nerves.

His life entered a moment of slow motion as the glass was knocked from his hand, an action that would usually have lasted about 2 seconds felt like an hour. the glass turning in the air as it tumbled towards the floor. The intoxicationg liquid sloshing from its cradled safety within its glass home. The impact of the glass was nothing, a faint clink of glass on the floor as the glass rolled away. The booze though was torture, the liquid hit the floor lashing out in a fan, droplets slashing and becoming lifeless little puddles resting on the floor.

As Leon looked up to the clumsy lion, he gave a frown. Wasted beer.

"What the hell man, just what the hell. more of a statement of dissapointment than a question the Oni looked down at the waste and back to the beast.
"I mean what did the booze do to you, eh?"

Wandering into the Throne Room came the familiar form of Heath Moore, dressed in a sweater to combat the chilly weather

"Achoo!" sneezed Heath into a handkerchief he had on hand. Often sickness didn't have a great affect on the Lost, but sometimes cold weather managed to permeate their otherworldly forms. And with a flu bug going around he supposed it was just his luck he managed to catch it. The creases of his mouth still poked out from behind the cloth, stiffened into a lasting smile. He sniffed once and stuck to the edge of the crowd so as not to attract too much attention. He didn't want anyone else to worry about his condition. After all he only exhibited minor symptoms. He'd be well in no time with a little rest. But such a minor bug didn't excuse him from attending the coronation of the Winter Monarch, especially now that he was a Joyeux. Gotta represent.

He stuffed the folded cloth into his pocket and looked about the room. A lot of faces he didn't recognize. Maybe he'd been too inactive at the last gathering. He probably hadn't noticed the new arrivals back then. But that was probably good news. Maybe more Springs were among them.

Green had been trying not to stare at the buffet. The buffet had been staring at him. Heavens above he had tried to avoid looking at the spread, laid out so wantonly to be picked over. Spring's gifts, or so he thought remember the talk from Halloween. No, he refused to be tempted. Positively refused!

Which was why, with forlorn eyes, he found himself being dragged across the chamber by his own two feet.

Something about the fruitcake...

Adam's eyes went up like a deer in headlights, but he composed himself a little, staring back at the man after watching the glass and the drink hit the floor. He went to apoligise as his face was met with his new 'aquaintance'.
He just wanted a drink dammit.
But no, he wasn't going to back down or duck out. His tail would firmly stay out from between his legs. He buffed himself up, chest out and looked the man in the eyes.

"Was just an accident, buddy." He put some emphasis on the last word, jutting his chin slightly, "Sorry, Don't mean nothin' by it."

Is what he said. In his mind, the lines went;

Oh god, oh god, please don't punch me, I just wanted a drink, oh god.

Brave face Adam, Brave face.

..oh god.

Out of the corner of his big, reptilian eyes, Big Swilla noticed the Ogre and Beast that had bumped into each other. He frowned slightly, unsure of whether it was just a misunderstanding or if the pair was there to cause trouble. Not wanting to take any chances, the Coldscales made his way over to them.

"Everything aight over here?" he asked, looking down on the two of them.

The response from the Lion gave Leon reason to raise an eyebrow, that wasn't a reply he expected.
He stood up straight and looked at him down his nose. He interested Leon.

The appearance of the large scaly individual was of no importance to Leon, he was in the middle of something and practically ignored the guy.

A smile grew across Leon's face as he relaxed and hunched over and placed a friendly hand on the cats shoulder, letting out a little chuckle as he did so. "haha, i like you, you got nerves, you got balls." he patted the mans shoulder a couple of times before pouring another drink for each of them and offering him it.

Adam's eyes darted from the Ogre to the large Crocodile man that'd addressed them and breathed out slowly. Thankful.
He managed to plaster a grin to his face, taking the drink and looked from one to the other.

"Just an accident," Adam managed to get the words out, chest deflating visibly. "Nothin' to worry about."

He looked back to the Ogre,
"Sorry about it, I owe you one, sometime, eh?"
He looked and managed to keep up his grin at the new comer, sipping the drink the oni passed him.

Adam mentally added;
Red Oni Man - One Drink - For No Face Punching.
Crocodile Man - One Drink - For Saved Bacon.

Swilla looked at them with some suspicion in his predatory eyes, but the Hunterheart's explanation seemed to put him at ease. "Aight. Y'all should be more careful. Learn how to handle your liquor, and get that floor cleaned up," he said to the pair, his eyes shifting to the broken pieces of glass on the floor. "Someone could step on those, and there's no reason for anyone to get hurt tonight cause one of you has got butterfingaz." The large gator man flashed them a grin, one that was full of razor-sharp teeth.

"You can ask Sam for a rag or somethin'," he said to the pair, pointing at the normal-looking guy behind the bar.

Leon looked down after the reptile man had spoke, he grabed a napkin from the buffet and picked up the large shards of glass. The glass was a solid one and hadn't shattered, more just snapped into a couple of large shards and was no troble to pick up. he turned to the man and smiled with a sarcastic undertone. Nobody liked a spoil sport.

After quickly locating a small bin nearby he introduced himself properly to the lion. "Names Leon, good to meet ya." he was cheerful. he was drinking and that was all he needed to keep him happy.
